Tomislav,

Thank you very much

Larry's question remains a good one. Where would one find an accounting of Luftwaffe losses from 1939 through 1945? I have in mind two dates in particular (10 July, 1943 and 2 August, 1943 both in the Mediterranean Theatre) but would be very interested in other dates and places.

The Luftwaffe Quartermaster General's Returns list all aircraft and personnel losses in varying degrees of detail for 1939-31 Dec 43 and then sporadically for 1945. These returns can be found at such places as the IWM or, like myself, I have a microfiche set. The reason there is nothing for 1944 is because they are missing (very much a holy grail). Personnel casualties were subject to a Namentliche Verlustemeldung, which are held by WASt in Berlin. Many researchers have various copies but I am afraid getting such out of WASt are nowadays not possible. In a nutshell, this is a starting point for finding such losses
